SAINTS skipper James Ward-Prowse scored his first goal for England during tonight's comfortable 5-0 win against San Marino.
Ward-Prowse, lining up in midfield for Gareth Southgate's men at Wembley, turned home left-footed from a low Ben Chilwell cross in the 14th minute to break the deadlock.
The 26-year-old completed the full 90 minutes on his fifth senior England appearance this evening and now has a goal to his name.
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin bagged a brace while there were also goals for Raheem Sterling and debutant Ollie Watkins.
This was the first game of the Three Lions' 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Ward-Prowse has been in fine form for Saints this season, scoring eight goals in 34 appearances, not missing a minute of action in the process.
England return to action against Albania on Sunday (5pm).
